Sicilian limoncello is an after dinner drink with a flavour of summer and the fragrance of this magical land, that recalls the drinks of the peasants of yore.
Deep yellow, fragrant, nurtured by the sun on the island, limoncello is obtained from particular varieties of Sicilian lemons, such as the interdonato.
How is limoncello made?
With about 10 lemons, 1 litre of 95 per cent pure alcohol, 500 grams of sugar and 1 litre of water, removing the white pith of the lemon that makes the liquor bitter, with this method you obtain a fragrant drink, to be served ice cold, especially during the hot summer evenings.
